Jeanette
Brandt of Waukesha passed away peacefully in her sleep at home Thursday,
Sept. 20, 2007, at age 88. She was born May 4, 1919, in Pewaukee, to
Herman and Mary (nee Horning) Buntrock.

On Sept. 8, 1943, she married Leander Brandt and together they ran a
dairy farm on Highway G in Pewaukee. In 1959, they sold the cows, but
continued to grow and sell various crops including pumpkins. They sold the
land in the late ‘70s, which is now known as Accent Court and Shelley
Lynn Drive, named after their granddaughter who died at age 2. After her
husband’s death in 1991, Jeanette sold the homestead and moved to
Waukesha. She had many hobbies over the years, including ceramics,
knitting, crocheting, macramˇ and cake decorating. She also enjoyed
reading and spending time with her children, grandchildren,
great-grandchildren and her beloved cat Casper.

She will be deeply missed by her children, Mary Lee Geszvain, Phillip
Brandt (Eileen Mantey), Cherie Pero and Leanne (Michael) Bennett. She is
further survived by 18 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Leander, her parents, her
brother, her granddaughter and many sisters- and brothers-in-law.

Funeral services will take place at 10 a.m., Wednesday, Sept. 26 at the
funeral home with visitation from 9:30 a.m. until the time of service. The
Rev. William McBride will officiate. Visitation will be Tuesday, Sept. 25

home.
